#0031

Don't flatter yourself that it's about you
All you are is a catalyst,
A vector,
To my
loneliness.

Legs suddenly shaking and I have to sit down
Absorb the meaning of it all,
the implications
Of the news.

I was right to leave your cold arms where you slept
And wander out into the unsure night
To find more than this;
A shooting star.

My ragged breaths betray my calm exterior
Yet at least (ironically!) no one sees
The tears that fall.
I am
alone

Except for the pounding in my head and heart
Through the sudden burst of anxiety.
The rest of the world rushes on.
I am left behind.

But just when I think no one can understand my heartache
I remember that life is not so hopeless
As it can seem, and off the chair
I fall to my knees.
